Thirteen Thousand Miles of Railroad Con.
structed During 1887.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The RdiLCay
Age, in it's review of railway construc-
ton for the year 1887, will say to-
morrow that 1887 has surpassed all
other years in extent of railway mile
age constructed in the United States,
the total SO far reported reaching H.
73i miles. Reports yet to come will
probably swell it TO not less than l3, :
900. This is all new main line track,
side track or relaid track not being
counted. A greater part of this pro-
digious increase Of railways has taken
place in a few western states. Kan
sas leads with a total of 900 miles;
Nebraska comes next with l.l01; Tex
as has 1,055, and then the following:
Colorado SlS, Dakota 760, Michigan
200, Montana GIG, Missouri So, In
dian territory 499, and so on.
Many OF these lines have been very
costly, as for instance those over the
Rocky mountains in Colorado, the
Southern Pacific extension, in north
ern California the Atchison. Topeka
& Santa Fe's extension, the Northern
Pacific work in the Cascades, etc.
A careful estimate shows that not
far from S350,000,000 has been ex-
pended on lines completed during the
year. counting buildings, equipments.
etc. The money which has thus been
expended furnished temporary en-
ployment to a vast army of workmen,
and has given permanent employment
to another army of probably 65.000
The extensions of the year bring the
railway mileage of the United States
to 1907 miles.
